Congrats. I bought the exact same bike 2 weeks ago. FYI, you can fit the exact same LED turn signals from the rear of the bike, into the front mounts and direct wire. So much smaller and looks way better. Tail tidy is also required.

Congrats too. Thanks for the info. I'll get the same indicators fitted at the first service. Which tail tidy do you recommend?

@@RoadstoRidges I have an EVO but there’s also Futurismoto and New Rage Cycles and a couple more. All depends on what look and features you want. Also, if you’re going to change the gas cap to aftermarket, you might want to eliminate the charcoal canister because any “overfill” will clog the canister and bike will run like trash and also create pressure in the tank.

Nicceee...New bike day is always brilliant!

@@Raymaciver 😁 Glad to hear you've been getting out on it and annoying the residents of Grantown with the exhaust noise. I filled up again yesterday and my trip said 84 miles and it took about 11.2 litres. Would suggest 120+ miles are possible to empty but this is nannying the revs at under 8-9,000 so once the 14.5-15k is available I'm expecting 100 miles to a tank. Will be interesting trying not to run out on longer rides 😂

Very nice. Been thinking about going to a naked bike but torn between the 1390 superduke r and the streetfighter v4.

Really leaning more towards the streetfighter ​@RoadstoRidges

Stunning. 🤩 I’m getting one December coming. Really love the black/grey, although in person the red looks fantastic. What made you go black. I wonder if colour affects resale value … not that it matters I suppose. Didn’t notice much between base and S version. On paper it’s better but I’m never going to use on track. Standard suspension was excellent. Not sure it justifies the extra €3000 (Ireland). Thoughts?

Hi Mark. I bet December can't come soon enough. I was giving serious thought to the red. I didn't like the all black logos. I prefer the red lettering on the black and grey. Plus hardly see any in the new grey nero colour yet. Both look amazing though so you will love it. I went with the S as I noticed a big difference between riding modes in the compliance and control of the suspension on different surface conditions. I like having that instant adjustability at the push of a few buttons. The roads in the Highlands vary considerably. Some areas have fantastic smooth tarmac and others are badly broken up. Allows me to quickly soften of adjust the settings rather than rattle my brain if it's too stiff. Also the forged wheels and lithium battery save a good few kilos. The bike is so flickable. Didn't test ride the standard bike so can't comment on the difference in riding feel. Will be really interested to hear what you think about yours when it arrives.

@@RoadstoRidges excellent. Yes, good point re road surfaces. I’m 107 kg so want the best suspension. Guess I’ll have to try the s to compare. No bike has ever bothered me in the past and none had electronic suspension. Yeah, I really like both colours. On pictures the red doesn’t looks as nice especially on the s with gold forks: it makes the bike look like Ronald McDonald 😂 the black is perfect for a Street bike. I only wish it was all black with no grey. 1st world problems! I’ll keep you updated. Subscribed 👍 Ps. Yes, December 21st is 264 days and counting 😂

I just want to ask how is the low end tractablity like riding at 50 to 60 kmph in 5th or 6th gear. Did you miss the use of cruise control in sfv4?

@RoadstoRidges

Ай бұрын

You couldn't ride it at those speeds in 5th or 6th gear. It would labour the engine too much. It needs more revs than that.

@@RoadstoRidges got it. In india we have speed limits 60 kmph in most city roads. That’s why I asked about low speed tractability. In highway it is not an issue. Currently I own a street triple 765rs. I am thinking about upgrading next year jan. So I have two choice street fighter v4s and m1000r. So just gathering info on them. Thanks for the info brother.

@soumyaprakashsahoo4120 that's a pretty low speed limit. It would be low revs approx 3000rpm in 5th gear at 60kph. The bike would pull but not hard. It really should a a couple of gears lower

I just picked up my 2024 a week and a half ago, the same as yours. I notice when you first started it in the garage your rpms were not running low, every time I start mine the rpms go below 1000 and ends up dying. After 5-6 tries I manage to keep it on and then it’s fine after. Have you had this happened to yours? Thank you for the video 👍🏼. Cheers from Canada

Hey Ruben. Fantastic! Great choice. I hope you've had chance to get some running in miles done. No I've not had the revs dip on start up. We have a crazy cold start in Europe to get the cats up to temp quickly so it revs away at over 2000 for about 10-15 seconds. Might be worth a chat with your dealer. Not sure if the cold start is a mechanical setting or something in the software. I'm sure it will be a simple fix for you. 🙂

@RoadstoRidges absolutely. Some people take pride in the fact that their bike has never seen rain. It's a selling point. Some people don't care. But the point is. The seller does not know the buyers' preferences. And then there is the possibility of swirl marks in the washing and wipe down process. I saw another video of brand new bikes being removed from their protective crates in the tipping rain. I would be totally pissed off if that was my bike. Bring it inside or under cover or wait for the rain to stop before unboxing. If I want to get my new bike wet, then that is my decision. Control rant over 😅

🤣 I hear you mate. I never intentionally ride in rain but we all get caught out sometimes. I use the two bucket washing method with grit guards and I do contactless drying with a blower. I always decline dealer offers to clean the bike post service etc.. Thankfully I heard them drying the bike with a blower on collection as i was worried the satin finish on the paint would be marked. Rant away mate 😂
